(1.) This appeal is by the Defendant and it arises out of a suit for recovery of arrears of rent, cesses and damages etc., in respect of a Seputni, for the years 1360 and 1361 B.S. The claim was laid in the plaint at Rs. 19,793-9-9 p. under the following heads: <FRM>JUDGEMENT_25_LAWS(CAL)9_1964_1.html</FRM>
(2.) The material defence was that the Plaintiffs' suit was not maintainable in view of Sections 15 and 16 of the Bengal Tenancy Act, as they did not get their names mutated in the landlord's sherista in due time according to law and further, that it was barred by limitation.
(3.) Both the above defences were overruled by the learned Subordinate Judge and the Plaintiffs' suit was decreed. Hence this appeal by the Defendant.
